Her hands had known
and touched and felt
the best and the worst
that life had to offer.
They’d held a newborn
they’d kneaded bread
they’d mended sweaters
they’d caressed her man
felt a rose petal
petted a cat
soothed a boo boo
prayed to God.
Her hands had seen
their share of toil
and despair
triumph and joy
sorrow and love.
If we must celebrate a day for women, let us celebrate freedom from stereotypes, from expectations. Stop congratulating women for being the secret behind a successful man... Start saluting them for being successful. Stop telling women they are beautiful. Try telling them it's not important to be beautiful! Stop praising her roles as mother, wife, daughter, sister... Celebrate her as an individual, a person, independent of relationships.
She’s the woman who believes that what comes around goes around. The one who hopes for a better day. The one who won’t give up on you..one who will do everything to make you believe that she loves you unconditionally.... She’s the woman who’s unlike the rest....who believes in doing what no one else can do... She’s the woman who would love to be loved...
Do not mix love nd life. Life is messy i agree. There will difficult moments, bills that seem to be too much, jobs might be tiring. There will be staff issue..All this is ok. You may have to sell possessions just to make ends meet and live of grilled cheese sandwiches and hope. This is life. It’s going to be messy. However this chaos has nothing to do with love. If you love someone, keep all this mess aside and live those moments with him/her.
Nothing kills you more than stress. To smile, to feel happy is not a rocket science. Simple things we do everyday helps us take a big leap towards a happier tomorrow
